Had you voted against Meteor Swarm instead of Gate with your last vote, Swarm would have been knocked out...No!!! Anything but the swarm....
It does not. From the spell description: "This spell as no effect on constructs or undead"Im new to 5e
Heal doesnt hurt undead?
Please don't use the term "gay" pejorativelyThat is super NOPE
Its effectively a different word with the same spelling. Wasnt talking about the sexuality. If i was that would be a different story and i might consider it a reasonable criticism. The idea of the word gay meaning stupid is older than its use for a sexuality. Its tied more to gay as in happy. As in stupid and happy. I find it exceptable.Please don't use the term "gay" pejoratively
Hmm, seems to me you don't get it. You used a word pojoratively that is central to many peoples identity. That fact the word has many meanings is part of the issue, not a solution. If you wanted to say something was "stupid" why didn't you just use that word?Its effectively a different word with the same spelling. Wasnt talking about the sexuality.

Because i wished to express that it was blissfully stupid and three letters is a lot shorter. And because i view myself to have used a different word with the same spelling.Hmm, seems to me you don't get it. You used a word pojoratively that is central to many peoples identity.

I gave you some advice, you can choose to take it or not, but that is the extent of my conversation on the matter.
The amount of time you are saving is quite small. The vast majority of people who hear you speak like this will likely not fully understand your intent, and even a thorough explanation isn't a guarantee they would believe you. Is the time save really worth it?Because i wished to express that it was blissfully stupid and three letters is a lot shorter.

1 i disagree - blissfully stupid - i save 4 syllables if speaking vocally and 14 characters if writingThe amount of time you are saving is quite small.

Im a lazy typer. Space i dont care about. The time necessary to type more characters is another matter.1. We all know that saving syllables (or space, since this is a written medium and not a spoken one) was not your motivation here. This point is moot.
2. We all know what you meant to write. The larger issue (that you are ignoring) is that what you did write is frowned upon, because it is offensive to many people. You should take @dave2008 's advice, so as to not appear oafish and belligerent in a public forum.
3. See #2, above.
4. It was never a vocabulary issue, it's a public perception issue. When you speak or write, you get to choose your words...but you don't get to choose how others react to the words you have chosen. Just some food for thought.
5. That is probably for the best. For the record, your position was never unclear and an explanation wasn't ever necessary.
compare it to the number of characters across multiple posts you had to use defending your use of it though, doesn't seem time efficient1 i disagree - blissfully stupid - i save 4 syllables if speaking vocally and 14 characters if writing
If people knew exactly what you meant we wouldn't be having this conversation.2 i also disagree - i think 99% of people know exactly what i mean because i dont think that many people are stupid or ignorant.
i didnt spend all these posts saying words who's summed meaning is "stupid".compare it to the number of characters across multiple posts you had to use defending your use of it though, doesn't seem time efficient

I'm just saying, you seem quite exasperated by this topic, and there is an easy way to avoid it in the future.
I'd take Shapechange over Meteor Swarm any day of the week and 10 times over the weekend.sooooo .... if someone found a genie in a bottle, and it said "no Wishes for you, but you cna have a Meteor Swarm," most of you would be happy with that?![]()
